Customized Gallery Websites for Professional Photographers

Richard Wong

“After 15 years of managing my own web development, I decided to hire Jack Brauer of WideRange Galleries to rebuild my website from the ground up with cutting-edge code. My old website was starting to look like Frankenstein under the hood and I had been becoming increasingly dissatisfied with its limitations. I’m excited by the work that Jack and his designer, Raza Durrani, did on my site and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks Jack & Raza!”– Richard Wong, Glendora, California

Terry Gipson

“After months of frustration and unnecessary expense trying to get my WordPress and Woocommerce site up and running to my liking, I finally gave up and asked Jack Brauer for help. His guidance has gotten me back on track to being a photographic artist and not a web designer, worrying about the next WordPress or Woocommerce update and all the plug-ins, additional costs for necessary services (like anti-spam protection), need for programming help …

As other users of Jack’s services have said, this is clearly the most cost-effective means to getting online and displaying, as well as selling, one’s work and being able to maintain the primary focus of being an artist. I am glad Jack can bridge the developer and artist dichotomy and bless the rest of us with the opportunity of sharing our work online.

TJ Thorne

“I just finished creating my website with Jack and I am extremely happy with the result. From initial communication through completion, Jack was communicative, helpful, and responsive to my questions and needs. All of the frustrations of working with plug-and-play websites like Smugmug and Squarespace were resolved by moving to WideRange Galleries. I now have a website that has the exact functionality I’m looking for and I thank and applaud Jack for making it happen. On top of that, the website is very snappy and responsive and the admin panel is sensible, powerful, and easy to use. Jack is receptive of improvements and changes and his product is only going to improve. I chose the self-design package and while I am not a graphic designer or website builder, Jack helped me rectify issues with my initial design and I now have a website that I am actually excited for people to visit. If you’re not getting what you want out of other website services, you really need to consider a WideRange Galleries website. It’s certainly worth the investment. Thanks Jack!”– TJ Thorne, Portland, Oregon

David Whiteman

“Jack I must say you really made this process easy to create a very professional website. I tried Wix and was totally frustrated with their tools and their templates. From the first email and over the course of several weeks you were always there to answer questions and provided support and guidance in helping me get my site up and running. In the future should any potential clients who would want to ask about the process, you can use my name. I would be more than happy to tell them what a great service you have.”– David Whiteman, State College, Pennsylvania

Lava Light Galleries

“Thanks for your expertise and guidance. The help information you provided is self working in most cases and lots of answers there. The design is great. The functionality is first class. I can’t wait to get on Facebook and elsewhere to start sending people to this beautiful site. So…on behalf of Linda, CJ and myself…big thanks.”– Don Hurzeler, Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Aaron Reed

“If you are a photographer and you have been looking for a new website, consider investing in yourself and your work by looking into WideRange Galleries. Jack was a pleasure to work with, was incredibly patient, even for his most scatterbrained clients (that would be me) and was clear and concise from the moment I reached out to him. You simply can’t go wrong working with Jack and Raza.”

Nolan Nitschke

“I have tried every website builder out there for my photography: wix, squarespace, smugmug, zenfolio, etc. While many of them can have nice gallery displays and be aesthetically pleasing, its obvious that selling prints on these platforms is an afterthought. That is where Jack and WideRange Galleries comes in! Jack has designed an easy-to-use site builder with the primary focus of selling products while still maintaining a beautiful and highly customizable gallery and website. If you’re serious about selling products and are tired of the limited applications of other photography website builders, look no further than WideRange Galleries. Jack is a pleasure to work with and very responsive. You will not be disappointed!”– Nolan Nitschke, Bishop, California

K.C. Turner

“Peerless best describes WideRange Galleries websites! An incredibly talented and dedicated staff addresses every aspect of the design, development and fulfillment of your website inclusive of providing you with an extremely robust yet intuitive Admin control panel interface. I’ve been a photographer for a long time and tried several other website hosts during the past six years. Believe me, Jack Brauer and his team, (with kudos to [graphic designer] Raza Durrani), are truly peerless! Thank you, WideRange Galleries, for designing a website built for photographers.”– K.C. Turner, Westminster, Colorado

Joseph C. Filer

Design by Joseph C. Filer, Programming by WideRange Galleries

“I finally quit beating my head against the wall trying to get other photography websites to work correctly. WideRange is the only system that allows you to have a Title, Location, Caption and custom URL, all independent of the filename of the photo. This is how you build a photography site for great SEO. It is totally responsive, looking the same on all devices, and I finally have a website that looks as good on my phone as it does on my computer. The Admin panel is great, allowing for individual or bulk changes to your photo information. Photos load faster than any of the other sites I’ve had and they look sharp and clear. Jack was great to work with, and being a photographer himself, understands what Landscape and Nature photographers need. It’s an easy decision to go with WideRange.”– Joseph C. Filer, Miami, Florida

William Phelan

“If you’ve come to this site to inquire about having your website built, look no further; this is where you want to be. Both Jack and Raza have the expertise (and perhaps just as importantly, the patience) to walk the lay person through the process of designing and then implementing a website to his or her satisfaction. They will work with you until you are satisfied with the design and then, the end product. Jack has done a phenomenal job in creating and maintaining this business; the accolades to his work here are well-deserved.”– William Phelan, New York, New York

The software is incredibly easy to use and I would highly recommend Widerange to anyone looking to build a website.”– Grant Ordelheide, Denver, Colorado

Dave Showalter

Tod Grubbs/Cynthia Hestand

“After struggling with trying to build a new photography web site from templates and plugins with WordPress and being totally discouraged with the look, feel and lack of functionality, we ran across WideRange Galleries. We looked at the websites listed in the portfolio and saw that most of them ranked with the search engines and showcased the photographers’ work and looked professional. Jack Brauer, the owner and main developer of WideRange Galleries, is an accomplished photographer/programmer and has a great system in place. He answered numerous emails full of technical questions I had over the 2 months we were reviewing options. Once we finally started we worked through some design issues and finally came up with a new website that fit what we were looking for, simple but elegant. Now that we are live the new site looks and functions great. We would highly recommend WideRange Galleries!!”– Tod Grubbs, Spicewood, Texas

Rob Greebon

“I wanted to thank you for your work on my new website… the process was smooth and stress-free. And I can’t overstate enough how patient you were in the initial stages of design, going back and forth several times with mock-ups of what the website would finally look like. I had researched for months about what website companies would fit my needs… I never seemed to find something that would deliver both a professional look and SEO friendly coding. Finally, I decided to take a chance and move from templates other website companies offer and go with a custom design – and I couldn’t be more pleased.

And even months after the website launched, you’re still willing to answer my questions in a informative and timely way, and that is awesome! I know I am in good hands both now and in the future.

Its been about 8 months now since we went live. Nearly all the terms I wanted to be found for are showing up on page 1 of google searches. While the site was more expensive than the cookie cutter options out there, it has generated more business that I expected. You get what you pay for, and your service was worth every penny. I think it paid for itself after the first few months.

So thanks! This has been one of the best business decisions and investments I could have made.”– Rob Greebon, Dripping Springs, Texas

Ken Koskela

Johnathan Esper

“I can see the efficiency as well as the flexibility and robustness of your admin program, and I am looking forward to working with this site for many years to come.

Michael Greene

“Working with Jack is one of the best business decisions I have made. His level of customer service is outstanding. He is incredibly professional, reliable, and ethical. If you are considering a landscape photography site that will help your images stand out from the crowd and last for years, WideRange is certainly a company to strongly consider. I am very glad I did and I am sure you will to.”– Michael Greene, Phoenix, Arizona

Dusty Blues

“We searched extensively for a web developer who could deliver on our envisioned requirements. We finally found Jack Brauer and the WideRange development team. After so many interviews with potential developers our search was over!! Jack and his team worked with us to develop our visions of the required specifications and evolved our site to these specs in a fluid timeframe while continually providing insights and innovations to us that we had not dreamed of.

“A major frustration in the past was not having the ability to modify content ourselves without a continual interaction with the development team once the site was up and running. Jack has developed an extensive well thought out Administration module that gives us what we needed and so much more. It is in the 10th year of development and is quite mature.

“Jack is also a superb photographer in his own right and truly understands the needs required for web sites. The ease of use in adding and modifying portfolios while optimizing each for Search engines is exceptional. Inputting and updating pricing for our products is so granular that we are able to quickly introduce new concepts and product families.

“Working with Jack and WideRange was the easiest development we have ever done. We would recommend him to anyone.

“It seems I took a long detour before I finally jumped on board with Jack at WideRange Galleries. After messing around for several years and being dissatisfied at all the other website designs, I finally took the plunge and made a real investment in myself. I believe his gallery setup is probably the best out there because you’ll have the most options to fit your creativity. It will take time to learn and build your site, but that is why your site will look gorgeous when it’s complete. Once you mastered the working layout, you won’t ever think about having another template design. Jack was great in walking me through with all my questions and displayed great patience as it took me months to get up to speed. I could not be happier with my completed site! Thank you Jack!”– Bernard Chen, Springfield, Virginia
